I've been to a few festivals, and Slick seems to have got it down to a tee... although there are a few things I'd miss off that list that aren't essential.

Listen to lynni - a couple of 5 litre bottles of water (and some small bottles to fill up) should do you nicely. They're a real bugger to carry, but you'll save so much money on drinks if you take your own. Although it's always nice to get drunk and stuff, always carry a bottle of water with you, and drink from it regularly.

If you've got cash, and you're allowed to go off-site to do shopping or anything (like at Reading), go to the nearest supermarket, get some meat for the day - along with a travel BBQ. You'll save hundreds.

Cheers guys, I'd got most of that stuff but I popped out to the shop's today to grab some water and a few bits of food for the trip down. Apparently we are allowed off site so i should be able to go grab stuff if I want, wish i'd known that before i bought 24 cans of carling to carry there in a decidedly heavy bag.

sounds like you're all set, have a great time! (you lucky b******)
